Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey

adventurous
I thought lots of this was really wonderful. First off, I have to say I was impressed with how the sex scenes were necessary to the plot, not just tacked on for fun. Lush descriptions of people, clothes and food, especially in the first part of the book, had me feeling like I was in a fairy tale. And then it gave way to serious adventure, with mythological elements, travel, politics, military strategy, romance—Kushiel’s Dart really has it all. I did think it was a little weird that the world mapped so neatly onto stereotypes of Earth cultures and nations.
